The organization was founded by Abu Abdullah al-Magribi, and it gained attention through air hijackings and bombings. Their most infamous attack was the Brighton Brotherly Church bombing in 1988.

History
Abu Abdullah al-Magribi, a Moroccan man who had a doctorate in Islamic studies, founded the MIJ in 1972 to react to the rise in Islamic terrorism across the world. The organization originally attacked Sephardic Jews and Christians in the city of Rabat, but later became an international terrorist organization that perpetrated attacks on a grand scale against many European countries. Their most infamous attack was the Brighton Brotherly Church bombing in London in 1988, destroying a Christian church and killing 12 people at a sermon. The Jihad was also responsible for some gun attacks in London's Soho neighborhood, but in 1995, after their terror attacks gained less attention, they disbanded.
